3.1.3 AFE Selection

The AFE_SELECTION register enables users to configure the AFE connected to the PIC32CXMTC host microcontroller. For the PIC32CXMTSH device, however, the value of this register is overridden, as it exclusively supports connection to its internal AFE.

When this register is modified, the metrology library must be reset for the changes to take effect.
